Covering Lowender
Kernewek at South Australia May 1999,I spoke with Cornish language teacher
Lillian James. She told me of the timeshe gave a speech in Cornish. In the
audience was Pol Hodge (Lillian's mentor). After the speech she asked Pol what he
thought of her Kernewek.

He replied,
"Oh, I thought your Cornish was excellent.It was your english
I had trouble understanding."
